With regards to the matter between her and Gong Yan, they had already signed an agreement with each other for such a long time. As parents, they had never asked about it before.

Maybe he guessed that her life wasn't too good, after all, no one would use money to buy a woman that they truly wanted to treat.

Since that was the case, there was no need for her to tell him whether she was doing well or not.

Let's just leave it at that. It's good for everyone to keep this tacit understanding.

She was silent for a moment, then quickly organized her words. She raised her head and looked out the window at the morning light. "No …" "I have some matters to attend to today, so I'm not at the office today. What's the matter?"

The last time she had called, she had promised to go back to the Pei household for dinner. However, the more she didn't want to do it, the more she didn't want to do it.

"Leave of absence? What's wrong? Is there something wrong with it? "

Hearing the cautious and caring tone on the other side, her calm eyes did not waver in the slightest, "No, it's a matter of business leave."

Perhaps her answer was too indifferent, only after a short silence did she slowly reply, "Oh, this … Are you free tonight? Do you want to come back for dinner? Your father went to the southwest a few days ago to do some business. He brought back some of the local fresh truffles. I'll let Mother Li stew tonight. "

As if recalling something, the woman continued before she could reply, "I remember that there was a stew at home before. You said it tasted good, so I'll eat it when it's fresh. It's a pity if it spoils."

Pei Luoyi looked out of the window and did not reply immediately.

"What's wrong? Are you busy?" Without waiting for her response, the woman asked gently.

Pei Luoyi took in a deep breath as her thoughts drifted away from the past. She then replied, "If I have time, I'll go over earlier tonight."

Hearing her reply, the woman on the other end of the phone let out a sigh of relief, "Alright, we'll talk about it when you get here."

After hanging up the phone, Pei Luoyi fiddled with it for a while before she got up and left the room.

As soon as he walked out of the room, he met a man who was walking toward him from the direction of the study.

When he saw her, he stopped walking down the stairs and turned the corner toward her.

"I have a social meetup tonight. If you don't come back for dinner, tell the servants to cook whatever you want."

In fact, he had already told her about the dishes she liked, and even if she didn't tell him about it, the servants would still do it depending on the situation.

What's more, she wasn't a picky eater.

He never worried that he would treat her badly in terms of food.

Pei Luoyi was hesitant for a second about telling him about the dinner. She heaved a sigh of relief when he said this.

Since he wasn't here, she might as well stay and eat outside … There shouldn't be any difference, right?

She could guess why Luo Yun called her. She was able to take care of these trivial matters. Although she wasn't sure if she was being sentimental, she felt that if a man knew about these things, he might interfere …

It was hard to explain why he didn't want him to interfere, but he resisted it instinctively in his heart.

She could tell that he was tired, perhaps because he had been too busy these past few days to go back to his room until very late.

"Oh, got it." She nodded obediently, pursed her lips into a smile, and her expression didn't look any different than before.

However, Gong Yan somehow smelled an unusual scent.

He concentrated on her calm, clear, watery eyes, which narrowed into long slits.
